Everything about the
Electrical Industry is Changing

Energy generation and power distribution — an $880 billion a year business — has changed more in the last 20 years than in the preceding 100, and that change is likely to accelerate in the coming years.

It amounts to a quiet revolution in the industry that provides jobs for nearly two-thirds of the IBEW's members.

How and where we generate power is changing. When we use it is shifting. The grid itself is transforming from pipelines of electrons to supercomputers with millions of sensors and controllers that IBEW members will install and service and utilities will wield like a conductor of a symphony.

For the nearly 400,000 IBEW members who work in generation, transmission, distribution, construction and rail, those changes will have a dramatic impact. Job responsibilities will change. Some traditional jobs will disappear while entirely new ones will arise, often in other places.

The demand for workers who can light up the nation has never been higher — but there are no guarantees that the new jobs will continue to be good jobs.

"The IBEW will look different in 20 years," said International President Lonnie R. Stephenson. "There are momentous changes coming to some of the best blue-collar jobs in North America. The first step in meeting the needs of a changing world and providing an honorable living for the men and women who build and maintain it, is understanding the change that is already here."

Cooper:
Run. Fight. Win.
